Generally speaking, Cordyceps sinensis not only has the function of regulating various organs of human body, but also has some direct disease-resistant functions.
First, regulate the immune system function.
The immune system is equivalent to the army in the human body, which resists tumors internally, removes aging and necrotic cells and tissues, and resists microbial infections such as viruses and bacteria externally. The human body may have mutated tumor cells every day. People with normal immune system function can escape the bad luck of tumor, but people with poor immune system function may develop tumor. The effect of Cordyceps sinensis on the immune system seems to be to adjust the volume to make it in the best state. It can not only increase the number of cells and tissues in the immune system, promote the production of antibodies, increase the number of phagocytes and killer cells, enhance their functions, but also reduce the functions of some immune cells.
Second, direct anti-tumor effect

It is mainly used for patients with malignant tumors such as nasal cancer, pharyngeal cancer, lung cancer, leukemia and brain cancer. The content of cordycepic acid in Cordyceps militaris is 3.09 g, and that in wild Cordyceps militaris is 5.54 g.. Cordyceps acid is a kind of D- mannitol, which can increase the osmotic pressure of plasma and make the water in the tissue enter the blood vessels, thus reducing tissue edema and replenishing plasma.

Cordyceps sinensis can improve the hypoxia tolerance of the heart, reduce the oxygen consumption of the heart and resist arrhythmia.
Verb (abbreviation for verb) regulates liver function.

X. others

It is amazing that Cordyceps sinensis can play such a comprehensive health care role on human body, and it is worthy of the reputation of "Cao Xian" since ancient times. In modern society, taking Cordyceps sinensis is not only a guarantee for your own health, but more importantly, it brings the ultimate healthy quality of life.

Generally speaking, as long as non-disease fatigue can be eliminated through sleep, exercise, entertainment and other means. But the disease fatigue is not good, and the symptoms can only be eliminated by drug treatment. The discovery of Cordyceps sinensis can not only prevent disease fatigue, but also prevent non-disease fatigue-a lot of lactic acid and metabolites will accumulate in muscle tissue after exercise or fatigue. Cordyceps sinensis can regulate human endocrine, speed up blood flow, further promote the normal metabolic activity in the body, quickly remove lactic acid and metabolites, make serum enzyme indexes quickly return to normal, and achieve the effect of quickly restoring body function. Therefore, Cordyceps sinensis has anti-fatigue effect.
